Title of bill

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to promotion of public umbilical cord blood banking

Purpose

This bill would promote the public umbilical cord blood banking.

Summary of provisions

Section 1- Amends the public health law by adding a new article 43-c

Section 2 - Effective date

Justification

Umbilical cord blood which is typically discarded is rich with blood forming cells that can give blood cancer patients hope and the procedure to preserve it is safe for both mother and baby. This bill would require the Department of Health to develop educational materials to ensure that expectant mothers have been informed as to the easy accessibility to this option which could benefit their own families and/or others who become ill.
